"And part way through the second entry he abandoned the English language entirely, and begin to write in Chinese"
Cocaine's a hell of a drug
Victorian wildlife is one helluva drug
I think opium would be more fitting in this case.
@@the-letter_s yes the drugs that usually grows in tropical locations
Perfect
@@WintersTheSixth And the British gave the Chinese tons of opium back in the day.
@@the-letter_s
Brits: so here's some drugs
Chinese: uhh no thank you...
Brits: here is some drugs
*Shoves the opium to China*
Chinese: umm we d... Don't want any
Brit: YOU WANT IT AND WILL SMOKE IT
Chinese: *crys in the corner*
Can we just talk about the absolute madlad that christianized ants from another world?
With a Jewish Missionary? This guy only plays on legendary difficulty.
DEUS VULT
Well they are subjects of the Crown now that he claimed the island for Victoria.
@@Illier1 It's like what happened to America but instead asteroid
They got sick of his rambling and fixed his ship so hed fuck off lol
I love how he just casually mentions he took a trip to Mars a while ago.
Lol. Yeah.
He didnt just go to mars. Dude was breathing on Mars like it was no big deal.
@@yeahboy2k386 Considering the description of walking on the moon not being feasible for 100 years or more I think it's safe to say Mars in this time period isn't as we see it in real life today. So maybe something happened to it between the time period of this tale and current-day. Which is pretty neat tbh
Yes, what the hell right? :D
Eat your heart out Musk
"I found the atmosphere of Mars quite unpleasant to breath" Yeah? I bet you did.
no shit sherlock
😂😂😂
Well ill place a bid betting he did.
You'll need a pressure suit to survive on Mars, since the atmosphere is less than 1% the pressure than on Earth. Very similar effects to being in pure vacuum would happen if you didn't have a pressure suit, with some added Martian dust in your eyes to make things a little worse. You would die in about 3 minutes, and then your skin would slowly expand to about twice its size 0_0
Alexander Fyne your simply wrong , ide bet u anything he was breathing standing on mars no suit, i can prove it
“I have not heard from Dr. Hightower since our trip to Mars in 1843”
...wait, what-
Lol
Why can I not find a video about this?!
@@d3ltaohniner261 If this is a legitimate question and im not being wooooshed its because there is no journal log of it because a mere journey to mars is insignificant.
Blackwood got up to some crazy stuff.
@@d3ltaohniner261 because nobody's wrote it yet.
Apparently they can build a rocket ship capable of traveling 19 million miles into space, but a vacuum suit will take another century to create.
Seems legit
TBH, a Space ship (without propellant) is basically a submarine... But it's odd that they couldn't make a void suit, while they were able to make deep diving suits...
maybe it would be too heavy and would have to be tethered to the landing ship for air supply
They wouldn't be able to fit the tophat and monocle into the suit so why even bother.
Also, it seemed to me they didn't have radio equipment either which blows my mind thinking about how they organized and executed the launch sequence
It's not the pressure that would be a problem but finding a flexible material that can shield you from radiation. After all what sort of fine gentleman would lose their stache to something as belittling as radiation poisoning.
Brits casually colonizing space. That explains why aliens speak English in the MCU.
we need to abolish the effect of colonizing and give the power back to the peop...uh aliens
Well, wasn't that part of your plan, sir? Make it so that the damn aliens have no choice but to deal with us in our language?
@Iron Hands Terminator as an anarchist i beg to differ. humans own 2 items of importance each. they enter this world with them and discard one of them when leaving this world. I'm of course talking about their body and their mind. possessions are all just temporary.

"How small a step for a man, how great a leap for the Empire"
-Lord Theodore Thomas Blackwood
Clearly Armstrong took inspiration
@@vincentrees4970 He misquoted Lord Blackwood indeed.
@@ImBarryScottCSS he didn’t even give him credit
"perhaps I shall finally earn the knighthood that I long have coveted"
*One year later got knighted by a fox*
I just realized. Was Mr. Deeds, the butler summoned by the ringing of the bell, once the butler of Lord Blackwood?
Small world.
crazy4bricks the brick brothers yes
It’s super heavily implied. Although, it is not made clear if he was an SCP while serving Lord Blackwood, had any association with a Silver Bell, or if he became anomalous some time after his service to Lord Blackwood.
In this tale, he also calls himself 'being of smokeless fire'. I would assume this is either referring to djinni or efreeti.
There is an SCP story of a researcher interviewing Mr. Deeds to determine the legitimacy of a claim made by a talking sea slug to be Lord Blackwood.
In it, Deeds divulges that he did serve Blackwood for sometime. I will not go into more detail, to prevent spoiling the story, but it is an amusing read.
@@tailgunner2 Would you please spoil the name of the story so we can read it?
"Deeds, being of smokeless fire"
So yeah, Mr. Deeds is a damn genie/djinn,
Ah... May have just offended Deeds Djin are air spirits. Ifrit are fire, and the two do not like each other.
Edit.
Please ignore the above. Seems I was in error. Edited as I like to correct my mistakes, rather then hide them.
@@mstrfool Siderius is right, djjinn are beings of smokeless fire in Islam/Arabic mythology. The Djinn/Ifrit as air and fire elementals is a modern, western invention.
@@Alephvoid Hmm. Seems I have some faulty data to correct. Thank you for making me aware of my error. I absolutely despise being wrong. One less error I'll be making... Bummer I was a bit prolific with this one.
Ah well.
@@Alephvoid Yes. The closest thing to elemental stuff in Islam is elements used in creation of intelligent beings.
Angels=light
Djinns=fire
Human =earth
Next story - Lord Blackwood: into the multiverse
Into the Scipverse?
PlasmaticStatic In which he meets the Eternal Champion in one of his incarnations, and Mr. Deeds finds an unexpected friend in the Champion's companion.
He already went to parallel realities.
Lord Blackwood: Homecoming
That was the last story
28:40 "The men attempted to court the trees as if they were eligible ladies."
Archimonde, is that you?
Somebody, wake up Malfurion and tell him to bring Horn of Cenarius.
And also, *Ah, I See You're a Man of Culture As Well*
Who is archimode?
@@firstnamelastname7298 Demon general from Warcraft 3. There's a scene where he's corrupting the World Tree, but the angle makes it look like he's humping it.

Livable, very much unlike Krieg these days
What does it say about my life when a sea slug has had more exciting adventures than I ever will?
he isnt a sea slug yet in the adventure stories i believe
he doesn’t know he’s a slug
when the foundation tells him he’s a slug he tells them to “stop being so silly or else I will stop talking to you”
Were you born in to money matthew? That's how he does all his little adventures. That and it's a made up world.
@@RyuzakiReaper so? Small-town boys became the first astronauts and cosmonauts. This guy went into space, and I'm never gonna get the chance
@@matthewlee8667 I'm sure we will have commercial space flights sometime in the future, so there is still a chance you'll be able to go, just for a hefty cost
After months of preparing the expedition, it isn’t until landfall that someone asks “Hey, what if the atmosphere is toxic?”
🤦♂️
"Is there air? You don't know?!" Get the reference?
Small hole in the plot
Actually i think the doctor thought about that all along, he just didn't mention it until they were there. Maybe because he didn't want anyone to not go because of fear, or maybe you are right and it really doesn't make any sense
It was the late 1800s after all...
The guys in charge probably knew it was a concern but, as they had no way of finding that out in advance, they went ahead with the mission anyway, and hoped for the best. Sending a first expedition just to ascertain if the atmosphere was breathable or not before the main expedition went there would have been too resource intensive.
Finally another blackwood tale, don't forget his revenge that's his escape from scp. Lord Blackwood's Revenge
Can't wait for it lol
What scp
@@yes9691 Lord Blackwood is a seaslug held by the foundation, he has no idea he's a seaslug though.
@@weavariothebookbeast3652 that's in the future, after his trip to that fairy land that hasn't been written yet, at the moment of this story, he is a human.
@@stapuft little late but do you know if it came out yet?
when he said " how small a step for man, how great a leap for an empire" i flipped out
2:18, because of course Lord Blackwood has been to Mars
He is a true Victorian gentleman and explorer.
"...mars in 1843"

@@thebighurt2495 They don’t teach you this in school but there was a mistranslation in one telegram during the civil war. Instead of sending the unit to Atlanta they marched into the sea towards Atlantis, where they subsequently found a portal to mars and created a colony.

What I love about this tale (beyond the always incredible Blackwood flair) is how much it expands on the original, fairly basic concept of SCP-1923.
Thank you for including the number of the referenced SCP!
"I lack the words to truly describe the sight and the emotions that ran through me as I beheld that alien landscape, and I wondered if a poet had ought to have descended in my stead."
Amazing Contact reference.
"They should have send a poet!" - Some Unit in Starcraft 1 made the same reference to Contact. Was it the Arbiter or the Archon?
Lord Blackwood's bizzare adventure: Britain is unbreakable
Сержант Пеппер is that a jojo reference?
Part 2: British tendency
@Patrick Ancona While I agree entirely, I feel that that was not an appropriate or fitting response to a light-hearted joke.
illegal Muslims might argue that is wrong
*Aggressive Rule Brittania*
Why is Blackwood mobin around LITERALLY EVERYWHERE through time and space.
Because he is Doctor Who!
I swear to god he is worse than the Vikings.
Because he is a Naturalist, duuuuh!
T Thung what is this from sorry
@Patrick Ancona I hope you realize that's a load of bullshit that can be debunked with minimal research
He named it Victoria in honor of the Queen. *happy Spiffing Brit noises*
If only Reanu Keeves was there to help Lord Blackwood
I hope Lord Blackwood had a cup of Yorkshire Tea to aid him in his adventure.
@@ahumanperson3158 did you detect the disease on that planet, Doctor?
@@Black_Claw175 yes
Should reanu keeves be considered an scp?
28:45
A Jewish scientist trying to convert alien ants to Christianity. I love the SCP universe, where else a poor lad tripping would read the New Testament to insects on some planetoid in the middle of the 19th century?
Dr Hightower: How intelligent are you guys really?
Ants: Yes.
The coolest sea slug under the sun
lo’ Blackwood is Gary from spongebob confirmed
watch your language!
The FINAL tale??! What a tragedy... Blackwood tales are some of my favorite parts of the SCP world :(
Jesus that art. That's pretty inspiring.
Whenever I look at these types of pictures I always wish I could draw too...
Aaaaa lord blackwood you are one of my favorite characters in the scp universe
I would argue that he was cool Even before he becamd a seaslug
@@kordelshorgar122 he still claims to be in a human body, maybe he was always a sea slug and the stories are just exaggerated/altered? Anyways the foundation can't verify any of his information. I'd like to believe he was human and whatever turned him Into a slug won't let him realise he's one:/
I admit that is a cool interpretation but i assume he is tellinh the truth
@@benarmstrong6904 In one of his stories he mentions one of his cousins turned into an eel thanks to a cursed magical item. Combined with the info that his Genie Butler gave about his last adventure in Patagonia I would guess he finally ran into something he couldn't outdo. Perhaps he was destroyed but a curse is warping his perception or perhaps his sheer Victorian stubbornness is convincing him he is still a gentleman.
I love the idea what Blackwood was in possession of the silver bell that summons Mr. Deeds
Mr Deeds is probably a djinn, which explains his immortality and supernatural abilities.
“God in his wisdom had not set living things on our celestial sphere alone, but that galaxy itself had been seeded with the germ of life…”

God, I hope so man, I really do.

Petition for ‘Lord Blackwood’ to turn back into his original human form so he can help us in ‘The Great Raid at Area 51.’ Since some of his stuff is located there.
Nerd nobody cares about that shit anymore
Why do you think we’re raiding Area 51? He’s who we’re going in to rescue.
@@az12223 the recent (past couple days) resurgence in area 51 memes begs to differ.
Are you suggesting that his Lordship is currently anything other than that most stoutly reliable of all men, a British Peer of the Realm?
Such crassness.

"I had not met him since our expedition to Mars"
Excuse me, what?
"I did not find it as uncomfortable as the choking atmosphere as Mars."
*EXCUSE ME WHAT?*
Well, kinda expected really. Lots of CO2. If someone can handle the low pressure, that's the next bother. It sounds so neat to go there. But that was the worst place I ever picked for a holiday...
Lucky for me I got warned before getting there.
@@mstrfool i went there for my honeymoon. Do not recommend
I would like a tale about the Victorian ants coming in to contact with “native” ants the same way Columbus did. Everything was going great until they met the bullet ants....they were never seen or heard from again
I can NOT get enough of these Blackwood videos !!! 💖
You know… I think the thing that endears me most about Lord Blackwood is the sense of wonder he seems to have. A genuine sense of curiosity and love for discovery and adventure. It befits a naturalist, I suppose. Even his faith, which normally I find makes characters feel ignorant or closed-minded when brought to scrutiny, seems to be of the kind where it can adapt and rationalize around new, seemingly contrary or challenging discoveries. A learned, yet faithful man. Truly, a remarkable gentleman.
This is like SCP version of Doctor Who
Got it, don't T pose around a giant tree
Also thanks for giving me some entertainment on my night shift.
this story in much in the tradition of HG Wells
Mathieu Leader as are many of the lord Blackwood stories
@@celtofcanaanesurix2245 neat
Ever read The original steampunk Edgar Rice Burroughs.
" This reminds me of my voyages to Pelucidar"...sits back in high leather chair as the fire burns low and lights pipe ,smoke curling upwards with a gleam in his eye...
When you so high that you managed to convince a colony of ants to bring them toward the path of god .
Wait so in the SCP universe the atmosphere of Mars is breathable and they had freaking spaceships back then and means to go to alternate universes?
I wonder if they did it all with SCPs
I mean he did find the red sea artifact and traveled within the world of the unclean
Ilai Steiner lahoud he also uncovered the truth and created the blackwood tears to undo the effects of the church’s doing
The scp universe is not a single well defined Canon, it's more of a loosely tied series of stories... If you really want to tread a line among them, call them different parallel universes... But the wiki has more than one version of Mars or outterspace for that sake
No, I think his description of the atmosphere of Mars is classic British understatement.
Well, he did get closer than anyone else to killing 682.
Superb. The author manages to perfectly reproduce that note of stoic pomposity that I associate with the middle and upper classes of the era.
I love the Lord Blackwood content.
This journal format gets me every time
I remember mister Blackwood, he was helpful in teaching the kaleesh in communicating with the republic
"Being of smokeless fire."
Deeds is a djinni? (Apologies if I misspelled that)
Deeds is the butler SCP that gets summoned bu a bell
@@mbos14 and also a djin. It makes so much sense, honestly.
Ifrit. Djin are of air, Ifrit are fire. Don't get it mixed up if you are talking to one. They don't like each other and would likely take offense.
Edit.
Please ignore the above. Found out I was an idiot. You'd think my name would have clued me in.
Christi-ants. that is my biggest take away from this xD
I'm a simple man, I see lord blackwood, I click and like.
somenerdpng me to... me to...
It's no gentleman's courtesy to blindly like anothers ventures. Rather by close inquiry into the nature and virtue of his deeds he shall be judged.
i love these stories. listening scp content has helped me get to sleep while iv been struggling with sobriety. i have trouble reading so the wiki is abit to much for me but i am excited to find out eventually how lord blackwood became a sea slug.
oh no 4th and final... shit. might save this 4 bed.
I love these tellings of lord Blackwood. They are my second favourite series that you make, first being the oraboras cycle. Please keep up the good work.
Gotta love Blackwood Tales. I wonder if the ants that became stowaways are an SCP now.
I'm pretty sure they are, all the other Blackwood stories written by the guy who authored this one has tended to utilize existing SCPs for the fantastical elements.
I love these Lord Blackwood videos. So interesting. I envy this fictional character's ability to stumble upon the unusual and other-worldly.
Well, first you need to know you can as well, then you may just find you are.
I love your longer reads man, these blackwood tales have been incredible, and that uroburos cycle just blew me away, easily my favorite videos you've made yet, was super excited that you put em all together in a single file. Keep being awesome my friend!
Dang, just this and finishing the Ouroborous Cycle and I'll have watched just about all of your Exploring the SCP Foundation videos!
Blackwood is best slug
I don't know have you seen the jackrabbit sea slugs?
*Plays ac/dc's "Back in Black" while air guitaring*
Ayyyy!!! Blackwood's BACK! ALRIGHT!!! xD
Some say those ants are singing _"Rule, Britannia"_ to this day
These blackwood tales are great fun, they feel like an SCP version of the comic “league of extraordinary gentlemen”
Can we talk about how Deeds, his butler, refers to himself as a Being of Smokeless Fire? The only beings of amokeless fire with which I am familiar are the Jinn.
Is that how Mr. Deeds grants his requests, perhaps? A Jinn would be able to bring rare objects, vanish, and do all the things described in the Butler's Handbell.
the ants are marching one by one
HURRAH HURRAH
@Juni Post and they all go marching down, into the craft, as, stowaways
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
We slaughter termites just for fun...
HURRAH HURRAH
Ahhhh thank you!
Love the lord blackwood series, it's so interesting to see different scps through the eyes of someone who's encountering them for the first time.
Thank you for completing one final Lord Blackwood video, I enjoy these immensely and do appreciate your work on them. I am looking forward to whatever it is you have planned next.

These Blackwood tales are by far my favourite aspect of the SCPU, I hope more of them do get written!
Can’t wait to hear this tomorrow
Yeayyy! Everyone's favorite British slug is back!
Small step for man, giant leap for the Empire - made me chuckle, i love these Blackwood tales.
I love his "They should have sent a poet" moment.
I love lord blackwood! Is he a sea slug yet?
I'm assuming he's always been a sea slug. At least that's what I choose to believe. To me, it makes his journies 100x more silly.
In Mr.Deeds SCP entry (yes Deeds is an scp) he says that Lord Blackwood looked like a 40 year old during Deeds' service (a period of 60 years) and that one day Deeds had a dream that Lord Blackwood was a sea slug. But yeah it would have been hillarious to imagine that a sea slug did everything we have heard.
ASTRO-NUT
Best way to start the week. Thank you very much for this
@8:59 I’m starting a formal petition to create a sea slug sized and shaped spacesuit.
I wish the author wrote the lord blackwood and the martians! I would've loved to read that! :(

Well done! Lord Blackwood is the ultimate explorer. His stories would make for a great television series or movies!
"How a small step for men, how great a leap for the Empire"

*Ay, congratulations! It's a celebration!*
Blackwood easily is my favourite scp. Just a 100% space loving time traveling monster killing posh sea snail like gentleman.
Lord Blackwood deserves and entire series of stories, wish there was more of these.
These stories have got to be my favorites in the SCP universe
God I love the Lord Blackwood tales
Nothing hold our english boy.
Another riveting tale of the dashing gentleman, Lord Blackwood! Bravo! Most splendid! These are truly the tales of amazement and wonder, a splendid choice for an evening entertainment! Now, what was it about the one about Lord Blackwood and the multiverse?
The many callbacks to Apollo program in the dialogue are a nice touch.
Seeing as how a few stowaway ants escaped, I wonder if the scp foundation has found any Christian ants that are extremely intelligent since then.
Ah shit, more of the crazy tales from our favorite anomaly. Lord Bad Mutha Fucka Blackwood.
We need more Blackwood stories. He's just such a hilarious and lovable dude who stumbles his way into meeting every SCP.
